Competing against an elite international field, Tharanga outshone some of the biggest names in the sport, including Germany’s Olympic champion Thomas Röhler and Kenya’s celebrated Olympic silver medallist and former world champion Julius Yego.
His winning throw not only secured the top podium spot but also underscored his growing dominance on the global stage.
This latest achievement marks Tharanga’s second throw exceeding 89 meters within just 30 days a remarkable display of consistency at the highest level of competition. Such performances signal his emergence as one of the most formidable javelin throwers of the current season.
With momentum firmly on his side, Tharanga’s breakthrough in Nairobi is expected to boost Sri Lanka’s presence in international athletics and position him as a serious contender in upcoming global championships.
